As Jesus preached to good new of the kingdom to the crowds in Judea and Galilee, many, if not all, had tons of issues just like people do today. Yet Jesus did not look at them accusingly, but with compassion. Sure, they should have chosen better; sure they should not have continued with their bad habits. But Jesus saw their need and reached out in compassion. Healing them. Teaching them. Loving them.
